It appeared on the face of the accounts, that out of the-vote - of last year there 248,0001. not. expended., He wished to know what became of money. Mr. WHARTObt (across the table)—" It has been carried to .the account of the Army Extraordi naries." Mr. CALCRAFT said, that since the year 1794, no ic:ts than thirteen millions had been voted tor Bar rack Expences. Out of these eleven millions had been .pxpended confoimably to the Resolutions of the House. Was' he to understand that the surplus ha,' been applied to the payment of:the Arm'y Ex traordinai ies ? • _ _ Mr. PARNELL .wished to ,be informed what part of the enormous defalcation, .106,0001. due 'froth General :Del:incey, had been paid. He also . was anxious to ascertain whether the advice of the Corn, missioners of Military Inquiry had been adopted ; which recommended that the Archite6ls and. Sur- . veyors 6f Bar racks should •be paid by specific sala ries, instead of a per centage upon the amount of tote sums expended. • .'• Mr. WHARTON said, in answer to a question put, that the pension of General Delancey had been ern, ployed in liquidation of the debt or deficiency of 106,0001. ; 'General Delancey being insolvent. - The Commissioners • were, however, more anxious in Nlovang up Inquiries against Mr.. Davison and other Sub-Accountants, wi\o are solvent, and ,from wholi several suns q would 'be recovered. Sui , s were already ini:ituted •for the tiums of 25,0001.. and 27,0001. which had been discovered, and there were expectations of still more. • - • • Mr. WHARTON moved, that a sum not exceeding 1,250,0001, should be granted fur defraying the ex penees of the Cornmissariat.Department. Mr. PARNELL, Mr. PONSONBY, and Mi'. WHIT- Ett RAD objecte:l, that there were so few vouchers for so large a suet of money. Mr. WHARTON, Mr. FOSTER, and the CHANCEL+ Lott of the Exchequer - said the estimate was made up in C!e , usual_ way, and the items .and 'vouchers were the same as they had ever been. A convers:ttion of some length took place on the propriety of gtanting t7 ; 00Q1. for the draining of bog lands in Ireland. Mr."Fosma the CHAiNICELLOR, of the Ex- CHEQUER: contended, that the advantages :were likely to be so great as to snake .it well worth the advance of such a sum. ' -Mr. PONSbNBY thought the risk would be very great, and that.so large a sum of the public money ought not to . be so emplOyed. • There was a sum of 50001. voted Last Session for similar purposes, and nu account had ,been given of the manner in which it had been ,expended. The Resolutions were then read and agreed to, and the House adjourned. MAILS.. AAR ED— I Malta, a Dublin, t Waterford. Due-3 Got ' tenburgh, t Lisbon, t Cadiz, i WaterflAd.

It is with sentiments of the deepest regret that we announce to our Readers the- death of -the gallant Lord C.OLLINGWOOD. He had obtained leave to re.. turn to England in consequence of the bad state of his health, and . died - two days after Ir! left IVlinbrca. 'His Lordship left England early in 1805, and from . that period till his death, was constantly, afloat and employed in the most active services. We have hot room, nor indeed if we had, would it beneces kary •to recapitulate the various atchievements of Lord CoLLiNGW9QD, Which deservedly raised him to the h;gll.:st, honourof his profession, and to the dig nity ot .1 he Pe.-rnge. it _is .unnecessary to recall- to , the recollection, of our Readers his gallant conduct in `taking his station at the mouth of Cadiz Harbour, . with four sail of the line, in 1805, when the corn . , bined•tleet .of 34 sail of the line. were in that har l -hour, and in keeping that position, in the sight of an enemy so immensely superior, until the British, fleet, was reinforced, and the enemy ultimately de- Strayed in the_ hsttle, of 'Trafalgar: His _Lordship Was- the particular friend of Lord Nelson ; they bad serve much together, and had ample opportunities of admiring each other's conduct, particularly in. Oa memorable batile of the t4th February_ i 797. . In the battle of Trafalgar, Lord CoLLtNGwooD, then Second in Command, led -one of the British lines into a4tion in the Royal Sovereign. His con duet on that day elicited - the admiration of the whole fleet, and Lord NELSON frequently direEted the at tention of his Offices to the Royal Sovereign, ex claiming, with, the enthusiasm which he always displayed when in battle, " Look at COLLING WOOD—Iook at COLLINGWOOD." It is ly to -.be, lamented that neither of these he roes should -hive lived to revisit their native ,land, to have witnessed theldmiration„ L and• received the applauses of their countrymen.

DUBLIN i t.—Tuesday mornm; between one end two o'clock, a very dreadful accidental fire broke out in the extensive .brewery concerns of Messrs: (Alderman) Trevor and Co. Ardee-street, in the Li- berty, the whole of which was, in a short time, lit tie mom than a heap of ashes and ruins. The damage is greater, perhaps, than ever occurred before in this city from alike accident. It was the finest establish ment, as a brewery, in this - city, and furnished the means of comfortable subsistence to a Vast number of industrious persons. The only glean of coniola . lion that penetrates through the awful gl , Qm of this melancholy occurrence is, that no lives were lost. L., We feel it neeesgary to state, that the rapid. rogresc of the flames was not owing to the want of the most prompt and continued exertions. -Almost every engine in Dublin attended; and our-worthy Sheriffs. with their accustomed -activity, were on the spot at an early hour: The premises were, we understand, insured f)r 0,0001.

This morning a Meeting took place in Palace yard, in consequence of the 'requisition of the High Bailiff, who took the•Chair'at one o'clock.' 'Mr,. STURCH proposed several Resolutions, one of which w,hich was, tha't- Paition - • Should be pre sented to the House of Commons, praying, thatthe House woulcl.conctit with Sir' FRANCIS BURDETT in his effortslo procure a, Parliinentary . Reform clad it was proposed; in another Resolution,' that a . Letter should. be sent io Sir FRANCIS BURDETTj Signed ,by ,the High Bailiff, in' the name of the Elec 'tors of Westminster, approving of the whole of his conduCt. Mr. WISHART seconded the Resolution, but we had not time to wait for his eloquent effusions. Government have received accounts from Cadiz. Every thing going_on well there, but nothing of importance had recently taken place. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY yesterday brought forward his. Motion for the liberation of Mr. GALES JONES, not.upon 'the ground that the commitment was il legal, but incause he conceived that the imprison ment which he had already suffered was an adequate punishment for the crime. The Motion was opposed upon the ground that Mr. GALE Junes had not pe • titioned. The SPEAKER being referred to with res pea to the praelicd of the House in cases of this kind, sta(ed, that instances had occurred where a• per ,son committed to the moody of the Serjeaut at Arms , have been liberated without a petition; .but there was no instance, he believed, to be found on the Journals where a perstm committed to,gaol by the House had been liberated without a petition.— ' This being the usage of Parliament, the House were of opinion that there was nothing, in the case of Mr. .ALE JONES that ought to induce Them to de • part from their regular [node of proceeding, :and t. therefore they rejected the Motion. . ‘i We are happy to have it in our power to remove the doubts which have for some lime subsisted respecting our occupation of the important fortress of Ceuta.— A 131iti3h Regiment, under the romcnand ot General FRAZER, was sent from Gibraltar' for the purpose of garrisoning that place, ,and were received by the Spaniards with acclamations.

BURDETT, : upon the SPEAKER of the Hiuse of Commons, is said to be defedive, as it states the Baronet's house, where he was arrested, to be in the parish of St. James, in the County of Middlesex, whereas it is in the parish of St, George, in the county of Middlesex. A gentleman is in town from Lima, who arrived' from thence. in the latest vessel which has reached Cadiz. He has informed us, that a spirit of incur-_ reaion had been sheWn by the people, arising from a. difference of opinion as to the mode of their fu ture government. At one time it appeared that the majority was in favour of independence; but, ere long, it was determined to abide by the original laws, and that, so long as the mother country . should be governed by the Junta, and that body able to dispense its law from any part of Spain, so long would those laws be faithfully maintained by the Government and people .of Peru. But should Spain be ultimately compelled.to. yield to ,France, whereby her . Government would be - annihiWed, it was to remain with the people of Peru 'fa establish an independent ' government.
